We obsess over pickleball paddles. So no matter your skill level, we’re here to help you find the right fit for your game. Check out these resources to help you find the perfect paddle:
Balance Point
The balance point shows you how weight is distributed in your paddle.
A paddle with a higher balance point feels more head-heavy, which can add power to your shots but may feel slower to maneuver. A lower balance point creates a head-light feel, making the paddle more maneuverable but possibly reducing power. This measurement helps you understand how the paddle will feel during different shots.
Consistency
Consistency measures how evenly a paddle performs across its entire surface.
A more consistent paddle yields similar results, whether you hit the ball slightly higher, lower, or to either side of center. Conversely, lower consistency means performance may vary based on where you strike the ball. This measurement is particularly valuable for players seeking reliable performance during fast-paced exchanges or when stretched out of position.
Exit Velocity
Exit velocity is the speed at which the ball leaves your paddle after contact.
Higher exit velocities mean more power potential in your shots, while lower exit velocities typically indicate more control. This number tells you whether a paddle is geared toward power or precise shot placement.
Spin Rate
Spin rate is measured in rotations per minute (RPMs), demonstrating how much spin a paddle generates on the ball.
A higher spin rate means the paddle generates more rotation on the ball, providing more options for serves, drives, and dinks with heavy spin. This heavy spin creates more challenging shots for your opponents to return.
Swing Weight
Swing weight tells you how heavy a paddle feels during play, which can differ from its actual static weight.
Higher swing weights indicate a heavier-feeling paddle, which can provide stability and power. Lower swing weights mean lighter-feeling paddles, which increase maneuverability and reaction time at the kitchen line.
Twist Weight
Twist weight measures the stability of your paddle when you strike the ball
A higher twist weight means the paddle resists rotation on off-center hits, offering more stability and consistent performance. A lower twist weight means the paddle may rotate more on off-center hits but could provide better maneuverability. This measurement is crucial for players who prioritize consistency in their shots.
